Mon conjoint & moi sommes allés souper hier soir & on a adoré! Tout était délicieux, & le service était vraiment excellent : attentionné, rapide & chaleureux. Nous avons pris les pierrades & on a vraiment aimé le concept, super belle expérience & très bon repas. On recommande sans hésiter!
The food was delicious & heart warming. Specific dishes were exceptional … The Canadien Pierrade is worth every penny if you are an adventurous eater. & the soupe a l'oignon was impeccably good… you can't go wrong with a giant slice of texas toast with melted cheese on top for a'crouton'.
& the service? Was beyond hospitable, friendly & sharp. They do an exceptional job of having a family-run atmosphere with professional & accurate execution.
We can't wait to come back!
Great for Gluten Sensitive & Gluten Free.

Tellement une belle petite place rustique pour aller souper en amoureux. Nous avons partagé la fondue au fromage & avons pris une pierrade chacun avec deux viandes & légumes. Les portions, le goût, le service chaleureux, c'était super! Je recommande!
The salad appetizer is not worth the money, lettuce & some carrot with sauce & a few chunks of tomato & I think it was $16. The dinner was awesome as we got the hot stone. Expensive but I think worth the experience as you cook it yourself on the hot stone. My partner got the French onion soup to start & he enjoyed that. I had a dessert the parfait & it was delicious. Service was good! They had lots of options for me as a celiac. Overall a pleasant expensive experience.
For our wedding anniversary we went here & another restaurant. This was the most expensive of the two & the other restaurant was miles above this one in terms of quality. The onion soup was mediocre, I had a full duck breast & either it was the smallest duck or they didn't give it entirely. (I cook duck on a regular basis) it was also poorly cooked & bland. The wine list was boring & the bottle we were interested in wasn't even available. The service was decent but lacked enthusiasm. I think this restaurant is meant to impress tourists who aren't used to high quality dining experiences. While nothing was actually bad (why im giving 3 stars & not 2 or 1) Nothing was good or great. A very forgettable experience.
The house specialty - cooking on a hot stone at your table- is fun & delicious! From soup to dessert, everything is consistently great. Cozy table in a relaxed atmosphere. We go many times a year!
We had supper here for my birthday & it was delicious! We had the onion soup, Swiss Fondue, beef cheek, duck, creme Brulee, & red wine. The staff were also very kind. I highly recommend.

The food was good overall, but I was not impressed by the onion soup, it lacked cheese & onion. The pierrade stone grill was a unique experience & entertaining in its own way. They had a different variety of meat & seafood to choose from. The service could've been better though, we waited a long time (approximately an hour) while they were serving the other customers who ordered after us.
Had the hot stone table d'hôte; every course delicious as always, from soup or salad to dessert! Our favourite restaurant on Rue St Jovite. Have been going for years & we're always happy with our experience
Our dinner at C'est La Vie was a highlight of our trip to Canada! We were very smart to travel 15 mins outside of the Mont Tremblant resort area. The cuts of meat were perfect! Elk from a nearby farm, filet mignon, tuna, bison, etc. All so good. The salads, French onion soup, & desserts were also delicious. Ultimately, it was a very unique & fun experience with a fantastic meal. Dont let the unassuming interior fool you!

Came here after a trip on the slopes in Mt Tremblant. My table got the liver & roasted duck breast. It was superb! I don't recommend the French onion soup here. Very kind servers & staff as well!
My partner & I had a wonderful meal (hot stone for her & liver for me) & server (tall man with gray hair). We will definitely come back.
One minor comment: I had a three-course meal but didn't realize that not all of the appetizers & desserts were included. I should have picked up on that when our server said the appetizer choices were soup or house salad. Perhaps you could add some asterisks with the appetizers like you did for the desserts (which I noticed when it came time to order dessert). That said, we enjoyed our meals 100%. Thank you.
Nous étions 6 c'était ma fête, j'ai eu mon entré beaucoup après les 5 autres qui avaient déjà commencé à manger, ensuite la même chose c'est produit avec mon plat principal, j'étais presque rendu à dire au serveur que je ne voulais plus mon assiette. Tous mes amis étaient rendus à la moitié de leur repas quand j'ai finalement reçu mon souper. Ça ne se fait pas ce genre de chose en restauration! Les gens à la même table sont supposés être servi tous en même temps. En plus j'ai dit au serveur que c'était ma fête, il y avait deux autres personnes dont c'était leur fête qui on reçu leur gâteau avec une chanson & chandelle & rien pour moi. J'ai reçu mon dessert point. J'ai été déçu de ma soirée qui a quand même coûté 250$ pour mon conjoint & moi !

Belle ambiance, en general un beau souper.
Votre fondue au fromage est plate par contre, vos sauces a Pierrade sont très moyennes. Quelques serveurs sentent la sueur.
My wife ordered the stone grill meal & I ordered the calf's liver. Both good, better than average actually. But the French onion soup I ordered was a MAJOR disappointment. Basically they ladled the soup into a crock & then served it to me with a piece of cheese toast, separately. I had to cut the toast into pieces & dipped them into the soup. The soup was not baked at all. I do not understand how any self respecting French chef could serve something like that! Disgraceful!
J’adore ce restaurant 💕 même je peux ajouter que quand je veux me payer un bon souper…c’est ma place préférée! & là…j’ai essayé le nouveau tartare au saumon & c’était délicieux!! & que dire des plats principale les pierrades (je crois bien que ça s’écrit comme ça) �
Nous avons essayé la pierrade canadienne, une superbe découverte, avec une soupe en entrée, un délice. & encore merci pour la serveuse qui, grâce à sa bonne humeur & son professionnalisme, a rendu l'expérience encore plus belle.
nous sommes aller souper avec nos enfants, service exceptionnel & qualité de la nourriture exquise. Notre serveur (Patrick) nous as recommander un vin qui était plus que parfait avec notre repas. Un incontournable a Tremblant !!!
